Frustration

[03:41.00]Frustration - Duke Ellington

[03:41.00]I went down to the dance

[03:41.00]Such a clown by the wall

[03:41.00]Invited to dance

[03:41.00]By no one at all

[03:41.00]The couples danced fine

[03:41.00]So charming and gay

[03:41.00]But nobody wants

[03:41.00]To look over my way

[03:41.00]So awfully sad

[03:41.00]Dissatisfied

[03:41.00]I hurt so bad

[03:41.00]I almost cried

[03:41.00]Imagine my frustration with no

[03:41.00]Invitation to dance

[03:41.00]Head high, standing tall

[03:41.00]Who else, who else could I be?

[03:41.00]But Ella next to the wall

[03:41.00]A fella who likes what they see?

[03:41.00]And then in my ear

[03:41.00]Someone said to me

[03:41.00]Wallflower, my dear

[03:41.00]How come you can't see

[03:41.00]They couldn't care less?

[03:41.00]They're not impressed

[03:41.00]As you might have guessed

[03:41.00]You're in excess

[03:41.00]Imagine my frustration with no

[03:41.00]Invitation to dance

[03:41.00]I smiled to the crowd

[03:41.00]Tip toe and alert

[03:41.00]Yes, the band blues went loud

[03:41.00]But next on a flirt

[03:41.00]A voice said to me

[03:41.00]Wallflower, my dear

[03:41.00]You're sweet as can be

[03:41.00]But how come you're here

[03:41.00]They couldn't care less

[03:41.00]About your dress

[03:41.00]You're in a mess

[03:41.00]And in excess

[03:41.00]Imagine my frustration with no

[03:41.00]Invitation to dance
